Tête du Géant, Mountain summit in the Chablais Alps, on the France–Switzerland border

Tête du Géant is a summit on the French-Swiss border between the Abondance valley and the Morgins valley, reaching 2,228 or 2,232 metres. It forms a straight ridge running south-east to north-west, with slopes made entirely of cliffs and a rounded, grass-covered top. The upper Brèche beds are visible in the cliff face, dipping north-west.

Tête du Géant lies on the Franco-Swiss border between the Abondance valley and the Morgins valley, in the Chablais massif. It forms part of a line of summits running from the Pas de Morgins near Châtel to the Col de Chésery near Morzine, a chain that serves as the border between France and Switzerland. On the French side the mountain is bounded by the Ruisseau des Combes to the north and the Ruisseau du Blattin to the south, both tributaries of the Dranse d'Abondance.

The name Géant refers to a giant, whose head the rounded summit is said to resemble. The peak sits on the Franco-Swiss border between the Abondance valley and the Morgins valley, in an unbroken line of summits running from the Pas de Morgins above Châtel to the Col de Chésery above Morzine.

The summit lies on the Franco-Swiss border between the val d'Abondance and the val de Morgins, in the alignment of peaks running from the pas de Morgins (Châtel) to the col de Chésery (Morzine). On the French side the slopes are bounded by the ruisseau des Combes to the north and the ruisseau du Blattin to the south. The flanks are made entirely of cliffs, so the rounded, grass-covered top is reached by walking the ridge line.

The summit's rock belongs to the Upper Brèche of the Brèche nappe, with beds tilted towards the north-west and clearly visible in the cliffs. On the Swiss side a fault cuts the succession, bringing the Upper Brèche into contact with the Lower Brèche and even the lower schists.
